APPELLATE COURT OPINIONS

Petitioner-appellant, Gwendolyn G. Thompson (Browning) (Wife), appeals from the order of the trial court awarding respondent-appellee, Donald Lewis Thompson (Husband), attorney fees in the amount of $500.00.

The issues raised in this divorce case involve the award of alimony, attorney’s fees, and discretionary costs. We modify the lower court’s judgment to delete the award of alimony in solido. Otherwise, we affirm.

Defendant, Charles L. Wright, has appealed from the judgment of the trial court entered on the jury's verdict for plaintiff, Margaret Danmole. The jury awarded plaintiff $17,000.00 for her injuries and damages sustained as the result of an automobile accident. In the instant case, we find no evidence of abuse of discretion on the part of the trial court. Moreover, there is not even a scintilla of evidence in this record that the jury which tried this case was anything other than fair and impartial. Therefore, it results that the judgment of the trial court is affirmed, and the cause is remanded to the trial court for further necessary proceedings.
